I want to change the screen on my 13" MBP. Has anyone changed their screen from glossy to matte via Techrestore?
If yes, what has been your experience? Also, is there any other company that offers the same service?
Just found this when I was browsing through some stuff.That's the controller that can be found from Toshiba HG2 SSDs that are used in at least 2010 MBPs. Here's a pic of the MBA's SSD:Original pic by iFixit (full size)As you can see, both are using Toshiba's T6UG1XBG Solid State Drive controller

Apple offers advice on 10.5.6 upgrade problems
Posted by Tom Krazit
Apple has acknowledged an issue encountered by some Leopard users trying to install the company's latest update released Monday. In a support document posted to its site, Apple described an issue in which a Mac would hang on a "Configuring installation" window when trying to install Mac OS X 10.5.6. That was apparently the result of an incomplete update getting seeded into the Software Update process, and Mac OS X will freak out if it tries to install a partially downloaded update.
Apple recommends that if you encounter this problem, or have already, that you force Software Update to quit, remove the partial update from your library, and re-download the update. If you chose to download the standalone update from Apple's site rather than the combo update, you might also have had this problem; when in doubt, choose the combo update option.
I have a client working on an 11" MacBook Air purchased early this year reporting that she cannot access copy and paste across applications: "At the moment I can’t COPY anything in Word or indeed any other documents, including emails etc. Driving me mad. Only the CUT option comes up - and as I’m working against a deadline… "Â
And she also reports this issue with Apple Mail which seems to have lost its preference file settings: "Also bloody Mail programme has now changed its layout and everything is bloody FIXED - so I can’t move it about the screen while I dig up another document I need to refer to. It wasn’t like this before… again very labour intensive and irritating. I have to use my online Google mail to get around this resistance… "Â
I have suggested that she uses Disk Utility to repair permissions on her Hard Disk and then restart in Safe Mode to see whether Copy and Paste is restored and also that Mail is back in order, through a corrupted Preference file may require resetting.Â
I thought that she may have been hit by a Trojan. I'm reminded of the strange symptoms experienced by clients using MS Office when the Flashback Trojan struck in 2012.Â

View 2 Replies View RelatedRather than listing Office for Mac on the Mac App Store, Microsoft is offering a new 30 day free trial for the suite, something that can't be done through Apple's App Store. In contrast to smaller developers such as Pixelmator, which have embraced the new Mac App Store enthusiastically, Microsoft (along with Adobe) hasn't released any titles through the Mac App Store yet.
It has released Windows Live Messenger and Bing search apps in the iOS App Store, in addition to the new iPhone OneNote, a note taking component of Office for Windows that hasn't ever been ported to the Mac. Were Microsoft to release Office for Mac through the App Store, it would likely become a top selling title, much as iWork has on the iPad and Mac App Stores. There are some modifications Microsoft would need to make however, including not being able to install background processes, needing to be self contained, and being unable to use undocumented, private APIs....................

My macbook is able to connect to my company's VPN and intranet via wifi hotspot on my iPad. However, it will not connect to the intranet if I use my office ADSL via router, even though it connects to the VPN. Is there something wrong with my settings that is preventing my macbook from connecting to the intranet via VPN using an ADSL connection?

Is there a company which will make the metallic top of the MBP be black ?  If not, muliple black electrical tapestrips would be cheap short-term solution. Because Apple is not contemplating a Black MacBookPro.

I had my macbook Pro stolen a couple weeks ago.I have replacement converage with my insurance company, however they are trying to get me to sign this authorization form to replace it with a computer with the Model # as ZONM-0003. From searching google all I can find is that these computers appear to have been built with (Spare, Repair or replacement parts). Does anyone have any information on any MacBook Pro's with this model # They tell me that they are brand new computers from Apple, but from what I can see these are not the correct model numbers.I don't want to get a computer that has refurbished parts and end up having to bring it in for repairs constantly or have problems with even having it fixed because the parts are not new.

I own a small lighting rental company that rents mainly to the film industry. I am looking for some software that will assist in making invoices as well as to keep our business more organized in general (accounting, expenses, etc).
My main issue right now is that I spend all day writing up invoices manually. One piece of equipment may contain 20 accessories (all with different rental rates) so I really need a program that has excellent "autofill" functions within it's invoicing. Some of my competitors use "Peachtree" but I don't believe they make one for MAC. I would prefer not to have to run something on Virtual PC.
The other factor is that I have only one other business partner who runs the company with me. Since we often bring in jobs through our two remote workstations (laptops) we need software that we can synch together throughout the day. Basically, we need our two laptops to be in communication so that whatever expenses/invoices/etc my partner enters into his laptop will be reflected on my computer as well.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe're looking to install 3 WAP in our new office. The alternative to a AEBS set up would be Cisco's WAP4410N WAP. It's a smaller office (about 35 people), but we'll be divided amongst three floors, so 3 separate devices. It's a PC server with mostly PC devices connecting to the wireless network. I'd like to have an integrated wireless network, which I know the AEBS can do. I also like the dual-band function of the AEBS, since there are plenty of older machines that are used in the office. But what I really like about it is the Guest feature.
Our clients are usually just allocated to one area (like conference rooms) in the past, but now they are somewhat dispersed through out. Having the Guest network extend everywhere that the Company network is would be great, and we wouldn't have to buy secondary WAPs to do this. However, the router/firewall function would have to be turned off on the AEBS so that our main DC was still handing out IPs, and I don't know if this or bridging the three AEBS together would remove the functionality of the Guest feature.
I've been considering joining my mac to the company windows domain but I'm not sure what the outcome might be. Before I do that, I want to know what is going to change, be better, be worse, etc. Will it streamline connecting to server shares? Will my local profile still be available if I want to revert back?Â

I have noticed that company entries in the Address Book don't seem to work like "person" entries in Mail. If I have a "person" named (for example) "John Doe", I can email that person just by typing "John Doe" in the To: section, and selecting from a list that populates automatically. However, if the address-book entry is for a company (e.g. Dave's Florist), it doesn't seem to work at all. And since Mail doesn't seem to have "address" functionality that lets you select from the Address Book, it seems like the only option is to go into the address book, copy the e-mail address, to back to mail, and paste.

I am looking for a PDF of the Applecare service manual for the 15" mid-2009 Macbook Pro (specifically the 2.66ghz version).tell me where I can find one?
Or better yet, does anyone have a copy of the PDF that they could send to me?
My 13'' MBP is starting to act up and it's time to take it in for service. The display is not living up to expectation, but worse are issues waking up from sleep and unexplainable pinwheeling (during low cpu/memory/disk usage periods, etc)Anyway, based on previous experience with apple, i suspect they'll resort to the catchall new logic board solution they usually go to. My concern is that I've upgraded my HDD to a 500GB WD. Usually I would drop the stock 250 in there for the purpose of having it serviced and just put my 500 back when I got the machine back. The issue now is that the 250 is being used in another machine, and this would be a giant headache.

my battery is no longer keeping a charge and says "need service". It never went through the other stages of battery digression (replace soon, replace now) just straight to service asap with no charge.I had gone away for the weekend and this is all i did the last session i had my computer on.I installed the java update from April 3-4 2012 in the software update and also ran a script search for trojans that i got off a cnn article. Usually i am not a sucker for these scare articles but something urged me to believe in it so i downloaded the two files (looking now they are mac applications) named trojan check 1 and 2. The search cam up null, i sighed relief patted my mac and shut it down. I disconnected the power because i was going to be away. When i cam back last night, a 2 hr charge was burnt up in about 20 mins. I thought maybe it was just running out from the weekend so i powered down charged over night. Still no charge. I did the sleep,reset,power off cycle then reset the smc. Still no charge. Here is my battery info. [code] I am almost positive i am under warranty still. It is a little confusing, basically my credit card doubles any warranty i receive. So my 2 year apple care turnedinto a 4 year. I think. Anyway i need to look into that before i can bring it into a store. But i wanted to get as much info as i could before i take it to a genius.
